Pets
companions, past & present
Please be aware that this page will mention animal death in the 'past' section. 
Note: Cats of ours with a "Legal" Name were adopted from a local sanctuary that keeps its own records. They came with these names and keep them as a part of a signed agreement. TLDR - If my partner and I spontaneously die, these cats have a backup forever home that they can return to as they are registered under that sanctuary.

Name: Toast "Legal" Name: Cosette Nickname(s): Roaster, Toastarella Age: ~7 Birthday: 09 OCT 2018 Sex: Spayed Female Species: Cat, DSH/Moggy Color: Tabico (Calico x Tabby) Origin: Local cat sanctuary Personality: An adorable lovebug always eager to be pet. She is friendly and is one of the few cats I've had who will tolerate being held for any length of time. She's a model feline suitable for even the most inexperienced interns in the vet clinic. When Toast wants attention, she just comes over and asks by reaching out with her paw and tapping your arm. |

Name: Pork and Beans (Beans) "Legal" Name: Porkrind Nickname(s): Beanie Baby, Toe Freaky, Bean Burrito, Beanie Weenie Age: 2 Birthday: brb i lost his papers apparently? Sex: Neutered Male Species: Cat, DSH/Moggy Color: Tabby Origin: Local cat sanctuary Personality: Beans is a freaklet. He's curious and shy and the only cat I've ever owned who actually will invite and let you rub his belly without trying to kill you after. He loves to lick toes for some weird reason, so we call him Toe Freaky. He's a troublemaker who can and will get into the garbage and seems to explore the world with his mouth like an infant. Beans was adopted by a previous family and then found later on the street with an injury, so he's a bit weird as a result of whatever happened to him that led up to that point. Beans also will meow for about 1-2h every night at around 2am sharp. He's an excellent roommate. |

Name: Emet-Skrunk Nickname(s): LIZ Age: ?? Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Female (Unsexed) Species: Lizard, Uromastyx geyri Morph: Breed Standard / Non-specialty Origin: Local reptile store (lol) Personality: A lizard with a suspicious nature. She is tame enough to be held but smacks of a wild caught individual sold off as being domestic. She is the last lizard I'll ever own without a papertrail proving that they're fully domestic. She prefers the quiet of her enclosure to any human interaction and will bolt for her hide if she believes for even a second that someone is coming to get her. Still, she tolerates my check-ins and is a glutton. |

Name: Cooper Nickname(s): Coopie Age: 1 Birthday: 16 AUG 24 Sex: Male (Sexed) Species: Snake, Heterodon nasicus Morph: Super Conda Het Albino Origin: Bred by Yellow Rose Reptiles, purchased via Morph Market (Listing) Personality: Spicy or sassy, as would be described by a handler. He's all about puffing up and showing off how big and scary he can be, but he never does anything to back up his "tough guy" act. When he's not acting tough, he's a curious little guy and an excellent eater. He has only ever skipped one of his weekly meals since being brought home. |

Name: Juno Nickname(s): Junebug, Juno Tuna, Tunaboy Age: ~10 Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Neutered Male Species: Cat, DSH/Moggy Color: Tuxedo Origin: Animal Shelter, city south of the one I live in Death: Humane euthanasia Personality: Juno was a particular cat. He'd cry periodically if he was upset about something or if he wanted attention, but he'd also do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Juno did not live in our home, he owned it and we lived our lives around him. He was very attached to me in particular and would gladly join me for a nap and cuddle close, kneading and purring as loudly as he could. |

Name: Makenshi Nickname(s): Kenshums Age: ~15+ Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Male (Sexed) Species: Bearded Dragon, Pogona vitticeps Color: Yellow Origin: Unsure, he was bought from a co-worker of my mom's Death: Humane euthanasia Personality: Makenshi is one of the most important animals I ever owned. He was one of the remaining pets I had from my teenage years and followed me when I moved out. He was still with me when I moved in with my partner for the first time. He was one of my longest-lived pets and had the scars to show it. By the end of his life, he was so geriatric that he couldn't move very well of his own accord and often just spent time with me to the extent that he even had a dedicated spot in our bed where he slept at night. His last few years were spent in as much comfort and luxury as I could muster. |

Name: Herba Nickname(s): - Age: ~13+ Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Female (Sexed) Species: Bearded Dragon, Pogona vitticeps Color: Breed standard / Non-specialty Origin: Unsure, he was bought from a co-worker of my mom's Death: Humane euthanasia Personality: Herba was a female beardie who came with Makenshi when my mom bought them for me. She had a fairly typical personality for a lizard: she was always excited to see food and otherwise fairly chill. |

Name: Mirmulnir Nickname(s): - Age: ~10+ Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Female (Sexed) Species: Bearded Dragon, Leatherback, Pogona vitticeps Color: Red Tiger Origin: Purchased off of a breeder's website online, but it's been so long I couldn't tell you more. Death: Humane euthanasia Personality: Mirmunlir was always a bit of an oddball; it's hard to remember the specifics since she has been gone for many years at this point, but I remember she always behaved differently than other beardies I've kept. I always chalked it up to somehing in her breeding. |

Name: Lily Nickname(s): Willum(s), Weeum, Rillum Age: ~10+ Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Spayed Female Species: Cat, DSH/Moggy Color: Tabby Origin: Cat shelter ~2h south of the city I'm in now Death: Humane euthanasia Personality: Lily was a sweet little lady despite her lot in life. She was declawed before the local vet clinics in her city stopped performing them. We ended up adopting her because she looked so lonely and no one else seemed to want her. She became super attached to the both of us and actually seemed particularly fond of my partner. Lily loved being pet so much that she'd actually start drooling whenever someone started. |

Name: Poundcake Nickname(s): Fat Fuck Age: ?? Birthday: Undocumented Sex: Female Species: Toad, Anaxyrus cognatus Color: Breed standard / Non-specialty Origin: Wild Caught Death: Natural causes, old age Personality: Poundcake was sort of an accident, but she was still beloved while we had her. We ended up trying things out with her since we had a spare enclosure prepped and I'd been reading about how many hobbyists keep local toads that're handcaught online. She was a voracious eater and very docile and she's actually the source of a gif I made that got quite a few notes on tumblr: |
